KOOMAN Review

Kooman is a 2022 suspense thriller by Jeethu Joseph, starring Asif Ali in the lead role.

Kooman is another suspense thriller from the master of this genre, Jeethu Joseph. The movie talks about a police officer, Giri (Asif Ali). Despite being a police constable, he interferes in cases and situations that some of his superiors don’t encourage. In order to achieve fame and impress his superiors, Giri plans a series of events that propel the movie to a new level. 

There are a lot of layers and psychological elements in Kooman, which makes it different from your typical police investigation story. Asif Ali was stunning in this film. Giri is one of his best characters. Jaffar Idukki, Baburaj, and Renji Panicker well played their role in Kooman. Jaffar Idukki is turning into a valuable actor in Malayalam movies. What a performer he is. Hannah Reji Koshy as Lakshmi was good. K.R. Krishna Kumar’s writing was impressive. With some seat-edge scenes, the movie was totally engaging. The flow got some interruptions towards the end. As opposed to the previous thrillers of Jeethu Joseph, Kooman had predictable suspense, which made the ending lack excitement and punches. Some might still feel it is interesting. Jeethu Joseph continues his winning streak with another quality movie.

Technically, the movie came out well. Cinematography, editing, background scores, and all other departments gave their best work. Kooman also portrays a relevant topic in present Kerala. This movie is a winner and an intriguing investigation thriller from Jeethu Joseph and the team.
